Note: VRPlatform's month-end accounting process is intended as a guide to help with monthly account reconciliations. VRPlatform is not responsible for ensuring that month-end procedures are completed correctly or that the resulting financial figures are accurate. Additionally, VRPlatform is not liable for errors due to incorrect automation mappings, manual entries, or non-adherence to recommended accounting practices. The only way to ensure that your trust and operating funds are accurate is to perform the recommended month-end accounting steps, then complete a reconciliation of your trust assets and liabilities.
